50 DEER RESISTANT Plants for a Deer Proof Garden & What Plants to Avoid
Jul 28, 2026
Oh dear deer, you're so cute but so hungry. After three years of trying to plant exclusively deer resistant plants in my garden in Chester County, PA zone 6b, I have come up with a solid list of the plants deer truly stay away from.
In this video I go through my three acre garden, full of different garden beds in sun and shade and talk about each and every one of my plants and how they held up to intense pressures, and those that consistently got eaten right away. If you are struggling with deer, this is a must watch video. You will learn of some new safe plants to use, but I will also highlight exactly what you want to stay away from so you don't waste your time and money on plants that will get eaten up.
I go through shrubs like Holly, Hydrangea, Viburnum, Bayberry, Cherry Laurel, Roses and many more. Also herbaceous perennials like daylily, coneflowers, black eyed susan, coral bells, geranium; ground covers like sedum stonecrop, thyme, and creeping jenny to name a few. #gardening #flowers #gardener
